Talk:Battle of Autobot City
Springer to transform Autobot City (presumably into the robot mode of the giant Autobot Metroplex)
I don't think there's any evidence of that parenthetical supposition. Is there? JW 01:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
No, but some backwards reasoning suggests it: according to one of the alterations made after I created this page, the Decepticons' first strike probably took out Metroplex's transformation cog, preventing the Autobots from converting the city to robot mode. Personally I don't buy that explanation either, but given they did a TV episode on the subject later (referenced in the article on the cog) I was just retconning the article to reflect it.
Although I see the point you're probably making: to transform Autobot City into Metroplex might well have resulted in some injuries and deaths given a solid number of Autobots were inside the city when it would have gone to robot mode. (User 210.185.64.133 ... I am going to create an account, I swear...)
- Hmm, if Metroplex isn't mentioned in the actual movie, and the fact that his transformation cog was damaged is only mentioned in a followup episode, this should be mentioned in the article. E.g., "transform Autobot City (according to the later episode #foo, into the robot mode of the giant Autobot Metroplex)" or somesuch. JW 13:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Outnumbered?
I remmeber there being an awful lot of characters on both sides, but I haven't seen any definitive numbers. Do we have a complete list, so we can verify that the Autobots were outnumbered? Or is it stated in the dialogue? JW 13:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
